New From Wet The Face - Cienna Nights

Cienna Nights: A Different Kind of Fall Shaving Soap

As the weather begins to cool and the days grow shorter, fall fragrances start appearing everywhere. Most of them seem to follow the same familiar path—pumpkin spice, sweet cinnamon, and other dessert-inspired scents.

There is nothing wrong with those traditional fall fragrances, but with Cienna Nights, I wanted to create something different.

Cienna Nights blends aromatic sage with woodsy cypress, creating a scent that feels fresh, warm, and perfectly suited to the autumn season. The sage provides a crisp herbal character, while the cypress brings a deeper, natural warmth to the blend. Together, they create a sophisticated and outdoorsy fragrance that reminds me of a quiet fall evening.

Tonight's Shave - White Lotus

White Lotus — A Shave Worth Slowing Down For

There are mornings when shaving is simply part of getting ready for the day. Then there are those shaves when you have the time to slow down, build a good lather, enjoy the fragrance coming from the brush, and remember why you got into traditional wet shaving in the first place.

White Lotus was created for that second kind of shave.

The inspiration behind White Lotus was tranquility. I wanted a fragrance that didn't have to shout to get your attention. Instead, it develops gradually as you build the lather and work it across your face.

Tonights Shave Kiss My Face

 

Rediscovering Kiss My Face Shaving Cream After All These Years

Every once in a while, I like to reach back into my wet-shaving past and revisit a product I haven’t used in years. This time, that product was Kiss My Face Shaving Cream.

It had been a long time since I had shaved with it, and whenever you return to something after that many years, there’s always a question in the back of your mind: Was it really as good as I remember?

Well, after shaving with Kiss My Face again, I can say that it didn’t disappoint.

Tonight's Shave - The Green Knight

 The Green Knight — A Shave Worthy of the Round Table

There are certain names that immediately create an image in your mind, and The Green Knight is certainly one of them. It sounds mysterious, powerful, and just a little dangerous—which is fitting considering the centuries-old story behind the name.

But while the legend may get your attention, a shaving soap ultimately has to prove itself at the sink.

So, how did The Green Knight perform?

Who Was the Green Knight?

The Green Knight is the mysterious figure at the center of the medieval Arthurian poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, generally dated to the late 14th century.

The story begins during a Christmas celebration at King Arthur’s court at Camelot. A gigantic and mysterious knight, completely green in appearance, suddenly enters the hall and proposes an unusual challenge.

One of Arthur’s knights may strike him once with his axe—but that knight must agree to meet the Green Knight one year and one day later and receive the same blow in return.

Shaving With The Son Of Zeus

There are shaving soaps with names that are fairly straightforward, and then there are soaps called Son of Zeus. With a name like that, you expect something with a little power and personality behind it.

For this shave, I brought out RazoRock Son of Zeus Italian Shaving Soap.

Even before building the lather, the presentation sets the stage. The black tub, dark label and fiery Son of Zeus artwork give the soap a bold appearance that feels right at home with its mythological name.

But packaging only gets a shaving soap so far. Eventually, the brush has to hit the soap.

Shaving With Captain's Choice Eucalyptus

Tonight I’m shaving with **Captain’s Choice Eucalyptus**, a soap that I’ve used before and was more than happy to bring back into the rotation.

Captain’s Choice describes their Eucalyptus as a crisp and refreshing take on this classic scent, and I think that describes it pretty well. There’s plenty of eucalyptus here, along with a touch of spearmint that gives it a fresh, invigorating character without turning the shave into an overpowering menthol experience.

What really impressed me the last time I used this soap was how well it performed even after sitting unused for quite some time. A little water and a good brush brought it right back to life, producing plenty of rich lather with the slickness and glide I want from a shaving soap.

Shaving With Barbus Active

Today I’m shaving with **Barbus Active Shaving Soap**, and I have to say, this turned out to be an excellent shave.

Barbus is one of those traditional shaving products that keeps things fairly simple, but sometimes simple is exactly what works. The soap produced a very nice lather, gave me good slickness and protection throughout the shave, and made for a really enjoyable experience from start to finish.

In this video, I’ll show you how Barbus Active performs during an actual shave and give you my thoughts along the way. As always, there’s no complicated testing—just a real shave and my impressions of the product as I use it.

If you’ve used Barbus Active before, let me know what you think of it in the comments. And if this is a product you’ve been curious about, hopefully this shave will give you a better idea of what to expect.

Thanks for watching and spending a little time with me. If you enjoyed the video, please give it a thumbs up, subscribe if you haven’t already, and I’ll see you in the next shave!
